As much as I loved our summer and the wonderful sunshine and warm weather, I am excited about the change in the season. I love when the leaves start to fall and all our favorite comfort foods fill our home with a warm aroma. I love pulling out my fall candle scents and decorating in pumpkins and leaves. This year I have even found a new love of SCHOOL. Now with the Lil' E in Kindergarten and Doble and Razy in Preschool, I have a couple hours a week to go shopping alone or do some fun crafts. Who knows maybe I will even get some blogging done.

As a tribute to the change in season and the start of fall (I know I am a bit early), I made Pumpkin Chili for dinner. I had a bunch of requests for the recipe so here I am sharing it with you. Enjoy! And Happy Fall!!

Pumpkin Chili

2 lbs ground beef

1 large onion, diced

1 green pepper, diced

3(15oz) cans kidney beans, rinsed and drained

2 (15oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 (48oz) tomato juice

1 (28oz) peeled and diced tomatoes

1/2 cup (15oz) canned pumpkin puree

1/4 cup white sugar

1TB pumpkin pie spice

1TB chili powder

2 tsp cumin

1-2tsp cayenne pepper (depending on preference)

Cook beef. Stir in the onion and cook for another 5 minutes. Stir in beans, juice, tomatoes, and pumpkin puree. Add sugar and spices. Simmer for one hour.

I like to let it simmer longer sometimes. It is very good the first night, but even better the next.

When I use the big can of pumpkin puree I like to use the remaining pumpkin to make pumpkin bars.
